| Reverse description | Bust of Ammon facing right, adorned with the distinctive ram's horn curling behind the ear and a solar disc atop the head, attributes identifying him as the Alexandrian syncretistic deity Zeus-Ammon. The heavily curled hair and beard lend the portrait an imposing, leonine quality consistent with Alexandrian artistic conventions. The regnal year legend appears in the field, with L to the left and Ε to the right, indicating year five of Elagabalus. |
